Their run defense is respectable with him in there. Without him, the front 7 is horrible. CMIII is out, and the his replacement is very green. Mulumba had a few problems against Bears mediocre line. Staley will cause him a lot of problems. I think they are down to 3 options at OLB: Neal, Mulumba, Palmer. Perry can do a few snaps, but his foot is in bad shape and he has not seen much playtime. If any OLB gets injured, they have some big problems. ILB is down to Hawk and Lattimore.

I think that’s why Capers plays so much nickel, which isn’t good when you want to stop the run. Daniels is about the only hope for pass pressure. They might get lucky with Neal once or twice.

If we lose Sunday in the same fashion as previous 9ers games, then he needs to be let go. If The Pack keep him then they are accepting their position as second best behind San Fran for the foreseeable future. Just my opinion on the matter…

Question is can they afford to look elsewhere the way they are built for a 3-4 right now. If we replace him, what happens with Matthews etc., if they have to move back to a traditional defense?

Thu, 02 Jan 2014 13:43:39 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2234980#comment-3053414Packers defense doesn’t have any play-makers. With Matthews out the only hope is the two CBs who are both very good and playing well but you really need the Safeties, the ILBs and the OLBs to do something…anything and we Packers fans haven’t seen much from them.

Thu, 02 Jan 2014 13:22:02 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2234980#comment-3053366Of course McCarthy is right but I don’t see how a player like MD Jennings (who is awful) suddenly starts playing mistake free, physical football… and I’m a Packer fan. Our only chance at winning is to outscore the Niners in a shootout and the weather will not help that.
